Strong Durable Fabric

The Symphony fabric we use, at 30-gm/sq mtr. (Or 40 gms for room darkening) is the heaviest you can buy. Your shades will be more durable, washable and long lasting. Although Symphony Shades are now usually purchased for their appearance, they were originally designed as industrial strength control of heat loss and gain in greenhouses  The double honeycomb construction, traps air in the cells, increasing the insulation value of the shades.

Best Insulating Fabric: Translucent and Room Darkening Available

Our Symphony fabric is constructed as a double cell for extra strength and has a sealed front web to offer an incredible 4.6 R factor, (with double glazing) to keep you warmer in winter and cooler in summer.  Virtually no other window treatment offers such a high insulating value.

Highly Translucent Non-Fading Fabric. Our shades are such great insulators that you will want them down when it is cold or hot out, without darkening your space. Our thin gauge fabric (0.14 mm.) offers all of the above strengths, is non-fading and lets in the most visible light while blocking out virtually 100% of the damaging UV rays. Amazing!

Affordable Room Darkening Fabric - Matinee.  Our room darkening Matinee fabric blocks out 85% of visible light, or close to 95% with the side tracks. Perhaps, not blackout for developing film or other laboratory requirements, but room darkening for bedrooms or audiovisual applications, at a price you can afford.

Flame Retardant in both light filtering and room darkening. The flame retarded fabric passes California ADM Code Title 19, NFPA 701, and Dept. of Transportation Motor Vehicle Standard 302 Flammability and Interior Materials. (top)

Maintenance Free

Forget about dusting, our fabric is dust repellent! However, many years from now when you do want to clean your blinds, ours blinds are fully washable. We use only aluminum and high tech plastics, poly carbonates and ceramics in the hardware so our shade is one you can fully submerse and soak without fear. Furthermore, there are no plastics that could become brittle from heat and age.

Stain Away For extra stain resistance we now offer StainAway on some Light Filtering Symphony cellular colors. See color chart for available colors. It is even easier to clean and to maintain than our regular cellular shades. It has a shimmery surface that further repels dirt and dust. Recommended for kitchens, kid's rooms and other demanding environments.

Color Coordinated Hardware and Uniform Exterior Appearance

Our hardware is fully color coordinated for the most attractive decorative appearance. Our shades are a uniform color to the exterior to maintain the attractive appearance of your home or office regardless of your color choices. (Light Diffusing Symphony Shades are off-white to the exterior and Matinee Room darkening are gray to the exterior.)  (top)

Reversible Inward Draw, Ceramic Cord Lock Mechanism on our Standard Hardware System.

The Ceramic cord cleat provides a long wearing smooth positive action that will not develop grooves or ridges. You won't be bothered by crooked shades. The Teflon roller takes the pressure off the cord, greatly extending its life. The cord lock operates with an inward draw so you can operate your blind easily, even when inside mounted or where outside obstructions exist. You can easily change the side the cord lock is located on. Cord locks are the main cause of repairs, so this is very important product strength. (top)

Easy Installation with Stainless Steel Hidden Low Profile Mounting Brackets

Symphony Shades are so easily installed because the ingeniously designed front load hidden bracket operates with a simple snap-in action. They are exceptionally strong and will not become brittle like plastics.(top)
